Aquarium Information

• Care level: advanced
• Temperament: semi-aggressive

• Compatibility: Best kept in a species-specific tank or with very large, robust tank mates that cannot be swallowed. Avoid keeping with smaller fish or invertebrates.
• Special requirements: Requires a very large aquarium with ample swimming space and plenty of rockwork for hiding. Excellent filtration is essential due to their large size and messy eating habits.
